Bio
Brad McLelland grew up in the spooky backwoods of Louisiana and Arkansas and spent several years working as a crime journalist in the South before moving to Oklahoma, where he earned his MFA in creative writing from Oklahoma State University.
Brad is a proud husband to a high school librarian, stepdad to a superhero gymnast, and foster dad to three furry friends: a mini-Aussie who likes to give hugs, a lazy lap cat who thinks she’s human, and a blind, piano-playing kitty named Ophelia who’s more popular on Twitter than he is. Brad’s favorite holiday is Halloween, and he claims he once saw a ghost in the woods while camping with his friends (though no one ever believes him).
